That was the quick response from Texas A&M’s Luke Joeckel when asked about the heartfelt letter of gratitude he wrote to Aggies and the university after he declared for the draft following the end of the 2012 season.

Joeckel, the Outland Trophy winner, spent three years at A&M after starring at Arlington High.

“A&M gave me everything I asked for and more,” the left tackle said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine.

“The 12th Man there, that fan base, it’s one of the best in the entire country. I’m so happy I chose A&M, and I’m so happy with my three years there. I felt like they deserved it. I was not going to get a chance to come back to College Station before I took off and started training and everything. I needed some kind of closure.
